SEMELE. Oh, Beroe, for shame! they're quite the worst That any head can possibly contain! And then her cheeks of green and yellow hues, The obvious penalty of poisonous envy Zeus oft complains to me that that same shrew Each night torments him with her nauseous love, And with her jealous whims, enough, I'm sure, Into Ixion's wheel to turn all heaven. SEMELE. What, Beroe! So angry?
JUNO. Take courage, my dear heart! Perchance 'tis Zeus! although it scarce can be! Perchance 'tis really Zeus! This we must learn! He must disclose himself to thee, or thou Must fly his sight forever, and devote The monster to the death-revenge of Thebes. Look up, dear daughter look upon the face Of thine own Beroe, who looks on thee With sympathizing eyes my Semele, Were it not well to try him?
In another section, locomotion is effected by a modification of ciliary apparatus. We have a familiar example in the Beroe of our own seas, a most attractive little being, and a prime favourite with naturalists, who have described its habits and celebrated its beauty with enthusiasm. We shall not soon forget the delight with which we first made acquaintance with this graceful little rover.
Juno, to gratify her resentment against Semele, contrived a plan for her destruction. Assuming the form of Beroe, her aged nurse, she insinuated doubts whether it was indeed Jove himself who came as a lover. Heaving a sigh, she said, "I hope it will turn out so, but I can't help being afraid. People are not always what they pretend to be. If he is indeed Jove, make him give some proof of it.
At this one of their multitude, and she the eldest, Pyrgo, nurse in the palace to all Priam's many children: 'This is not Beroë, I tell you, O mothers; this is not the wife of Doryclus of Rhoeteum. Mark the lineaments of divine grace and the gleaming eyes, what a breath is hers, what a countenance, and the sound of her voice and the steps of her going.
SEMELE. Deucalion has no offspring so divine As is my Zeus of thunder naught I know. JUNO. Mere envy! Fie! SEMELE. No, Beroe! By Zeus! JUNO. Thou swearest? SEMELE. By Zeus! by mine own Zeus! Unhappy one! JUNO. Repeat the word that dooms thee to become the wretchedest of all on earth's wide face! Alas, lost creature! 'Twas not Zeus! SEMELE. Not Zeus? Oh, fearful thought! Well mayest thou fall!
The beroe is a most active being, its habits conforming to the organisation with which it is endowed. Such an array of paddles prophesies of a mercurial temperament and an energetic character. It can, however, anchor itself and lie by when occasion offers. It is provided with two long cables, prettily set with spiral filaments or tendrils, by means of which it can make fast to any point.
Maidens, haste, Scatter ambrosial fragrance through the hall, Strew roses and narcissus flowers around, Forgetting not the gold-embroidered pillow. He comes not yet the sun is fast declining SEMELE. Ha! Do I dream? Am I awake? Gods! Beroe! JUNO. Is't possible that Semele can e'er Forget her nurse? SEMELE. 'Tis Beroe! By Zeus! Oh, let thy daughter clasp thee to her heart! Thou livest still?
Secondly, a Salpa, of the class which lives apart and has fine long fibres projecting from the hinder part of the body. Thirdly, a small animal, nearly allied to the Diphyes, the soft part of the body, which contains the tube for receiving nourishment, having no air-bladder. Fourthly, a small Beroe, having the power of drawing in its fins. Fifthly, a very small Porpita.
When not in use, it can retract them, and stow them away in two sacs or pouches within the body, where they may be seen coiled up, through the transparent walls. The mouth is a simple opening at one pole of the globular body. No arms are needed. The beroe is spared the labour and uncertainty of the chase.
